THE SECOND BOOK OF SAMUEL (THE LAMANITE)

1Now I must say farewell to all my people. For, I am waxed greatly with age and my time is come. But I leave this record for a remembrance of my days and of my works. As I have said, I believe that my people do rightly. For, they do lift the hands that hang down and they do remember to do all that which the Lord did command us to do when He visited us in His power.

2I bless the Lord for all His doings and all His works. Worthy is the Lord our God and I shall praise Him all the days of my life. And I do exhort all my children and all my people to raise up their voices continually unto the Lord. And behold, I do believe that this is the ensign which shall shine forth through the darkness of their day, as also through the corruption and the smoke of darkness in the days that come.

3Pray always. Observe to keep the covenants of the High Place, even the Temple of the Lord God. Keep His commandments. Hold to His truth. Ascertain that truth through communion with the Holy Ghost. Walk upon the Way receiving revelation upon revelation. Seek the face of Jesus. Yea, and if you do, you shall surely find Him. Amen.
